About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vineyards lie on southwest-facing slopes at 310 m above sea level. The soils are deep marl covered with pebbles, which give the wine mineral freshness and an elegant structure.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand and fermented gently at a controlled temperature.

Ageing

The wine rests for 4 months on fine lees in stainless steel tanks, which softens the tannins and adds a velvety texture.

Tasting profile

Lively, youthful and energetic, with a mineral freshness and an elegant structure. The palate is juicy and approachable and velvety in texture, with soft tannins. The style is modern, focused on purity and the natural energy of the grape.

Label / history

The wine is named for Sofia, daughter of Serena and Marco and a fifth-generation member of the Marrone winemaking family.
